A week later

Mild: "hey are you ok. This week you've been looking worn out and not yourself, something stressing you out?"

Gulf: (feels tired has dark circles his glow not on his face anymore) "I'm ok" (sighs)

Mild: "yeah that sigh just said the opposite."

Gulf: "I don't know anymore."

Mew: (comes and stands besides Gulf.) "Can we talk?"

Gulf: "can we do it after school. I'm really tired right now."

Mew: (wants to say something but doesn't) "ok after school" (Hesitates before he kisses Gulfs cheek.)

Mew: (walking towards the gate going home) so how are you doing?

Gulf: "I'm fine thanks, how are you?"

Mew: (nods his head) "I'm fine too. Just missed you a lot"

Gulf: "yeah"

Mew: "I hardly saw you this week. Lots of excuses"

Gulf yeah, I've been busy

Mew: "you don't like me anymore"

Gulf: "don't be silly"

Mew: "what's happening you don't like hanging out with me anymore. You don't let me take care of you anymore. You've changed. Your dressing has become somewhat worrying. You're not being yourself."

Gulf: (takes a deep breathe) You're right. I don't feel like myself anymore. I don't feel right anymore. Doing anything I like feels wrong. Isn't this the person you wanted though? You didn't like my dressing, you didn't like my talking, you didn't like me being with you all the time, you didn't like me buying stuff that made me happy, I changed everything for you but now it's worrying? What do you want me to do?"

Mew: "I didn't mean it like that"

Gulf: (In a low tired voice)"I don't think I can do this anymore."

Mew: "Gulf"

Gulf: "I'm just not myself right now and I'm not happy at all."

Mew: "we can do this together"

Gulf: "we've been doing it together but look where we are right now"

Mew: "come on don't do this I was wrong, we can fix it"

Gulf: "that's the problem. You enjoy fixing things a little too much. Some things are not meant to be fixed. I don't want this anymore."

Mew: "I'm sorry"

Gulf: "yeah me too" (walks away)

3 Days later

Gulf: (feeling weak. Someone bumps into him and he falls down looks up and sees Bright)

Bright: "hey are you ok. I'm sorry"

Gulf: (having trouble getting up) "no its ok"

Bright: (helps him up) "you sure you ok? you look different"

Gulf: "yes I am. thank you"

Bright: "(raises eyebrows at thank you)

Gulf: "I'll see you around"

Bright: "yeah sure." (Turns to look as Gulf dragging himself the other way. He is worried but there's nothing he can do."

In class

Mild: (nudging Gulf) "hey the teacher is here you might want to sit up"

Gulf: (whining) "my head is heavy I'll sleep some more"

Gulf: (whining) "my head is heavy I'll sleep some more"

One week later

Mild: (to Mew who is standing at the bathroom door, blocking the way), "can you please move?" (Mew doesn't)

Mild: (forces himself in the bathroom and stops too) what's going on here?

Champ: (flushed at being caught, pushes Gulf away from him and Gulf falls down, wipes his mouth)
